Overview

About 5 Nuthatch

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Nuthatch is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Checkendon, Reading, Reading (RG8 0SY). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 62.8% above the 2013 sale of £296,000. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
